> I found the search to be super hit or miss.

I heard similar complaints from friends that came to visit. But they were using the English version of the apps, which, when I tested, were indeed harder to use, but never a miss for me when I helped them. OTOH, I always find my destinations within the first three options when I search in Korean. So maybe it's subpar internationlization.

> They lack a lot of polish. [...] some interactions are janky

I see. I guess I wouldn't know. It's not janky for me, and I think that I am so used to it that when I need to use Google Maps, or any other, I feel a bit frustrated by the unfamiliar interface that I start wishing I could be using Kakao or Naver Maps instead.

>So you’re stuck with some shotty local mapping systems that are just bad.

What made you think of them as bad? Could you be more specific? I use them almost daily and I find them very good.

> I'm firmly convinced that these policies are only written to have plausible deniability when stuff with generated code gets inevitably submitted anyway.

Of course it is. And nobody said otherwise, because that is explicitly stated on the commit message:

    [...] More broadly there is,
    as yet, no broad consensus on the licensing implications of code
    generators trained on inputs under a wide variety of licenses

And in the patch itself:

    [...] With AI
    content generators, the copyright and license status of the output is
    ill-defined with no generally accepted, settled legal foundation.

What other commenters pointed out is that, beyond the legal issue, other problems also arise form the use of AI-generated code.

There are two sentences in this essay that I couldn't understand. Can someone help me?

1. "An essay is a cleaned up train of thought, in the same way dialogue is cleaned up conversation"

I thought dialogue and conversation were the same thing. What is the difference between them besides one being a cleaned up version of the other?

2. "If for some bizarre reason the number of jobs in a country were fixed, then immigrants really would be taking our jobs."

What does this even mean? Is it an exemple or an analogy? It sounds like at this point in the text there should be an analogy, but this sentence sounds like an example. So, which one is it?

Also, did anybody else got confused too?

I am trying to load a file but it fails. I tried different URL formats:

    - https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data/blob/master/data/events/15956.json
    - https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data/raw/master/data/events/15956.json
    - 15956.json

None of them worked. It would be good if the field already had an example filled in with the expected format, or maybe a better hint in the error message indicating why the file was not loaded. Was it my URL or another internal problem?

Still, it is a very interesting demo, and just like airstrike suggested (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41096570), now that the main engine is in place, more filters would be make this even more interesting. Well done.

I remember there was one level of Notpr0n¹ that required looking for an ICQ UIN. I guess new players won't be able to pass it without looking for the answer somewhere else.

For those wondering how to accomplish something similar with Emacs: https://karthinks.com/software/latex-input-for-impatient-sch...

Not for everybody.

Dark themes make me dizzy and tired, be it either day or night, and I believe it's because I have high degree of astigmatism and myopia in both eyes.

I know it's off topic, but I find it interesting how this sentence was so hard for me to understand. I struggled for many seconds but couldn't go beyond "was ever" because it felt like there was some mistake, like a word was missing here or there.

In the first pass, my mind decided that "state" was a verb, and, therefore, there should be a subject appearing before it. But I only found "any", instead of "anybody" or "anyone". Then there is "was ever in be" which, by itself, is a weird construction. It does makes sense in the sentence, because it is "[the] state that Gentoo was ever in" + "be reflected upon". But since I was (unconsciously) dividing the sentence in smaller parts trying to identify the subject, the predicate, the verb, the object, or whatever would make sense for me, cutting the sentence like that only confused me even more. I kept going back and forth trying to imagine which word was missing, and only after pushing through until the quotation, the whole sentence finally made sense.

Although I can't think of any example right now, I know that it is common to use sentences with structure similar to this one, and I see them almost daily, probably multiple times a day. However, as a non-native speaker, this one was an actual struggle, and I feel so good for having overcome it that I am willing comment on it.

For closure, if I was the one writing this sentence, I would probably use the active voice with an indefinite pronoun, which is also probably what my mind was expecting:

    Only on HN would anyone reflect upon any state that Gentoo was ever in as "just worked like a breeze".

And I ask: were there native speakers that also couldn't understand it in a single reading?

AhnLab Safe Transaction's anti-phishing protection erroneously blocks this domain. The log says:

    Date: <redacted>
    Security Threat: Phishing site
    Target: skullinthestars.com/
    Status: Block
    Scan Method: Anti-Phishing

Sigh. I wonder how much worse can these South Korean "security applications" get. For instance, AhnLab's website¹ doesn't even list Ahnlab Safe Transaction in their products.

For the curious ones, a related thread: "South Korea’s online security dead end" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34231364

Removing the "mode=screensaver" parameter from the URL:

>ertdfgcvb

>Studio for design and code based in Lugano, Switzerland.

>Specialized in procedural graphic design for screen and print; research and development, prototyping and implementation of interactive installations for exhibitions, stages and events.

And here is a link with some of their art: https://foundation.app/@ertdfgcvb

There are also some links in their homepage too. The I liked the most was: https://play.ertdfgcvb.xyz

PStow: https://github.com/luispauloml/pstow/

I use it to create symbolic links like GNU Stow but using PowerShell. This way I can keep the same folder structure inside my dotfiles repository and use Stow on WSL, and PStow on Windows.

It creates symlinks, but it can't delete them, because it doesn't keep track of what it creates. But since I don't actually have to configure too many things, that's not really a big problem for me, because can I simply delete them manually if I need. Maybe some day I will add that functionality, maybe not.

>The author completely avoids the real question which is how to select what new technology

There is a whole section called "When (and how) to use innovative new tech" talking about this, and another one called "My framework for choosing technologies" describing the author's approach.

> There really should be a minimum "ink" or "coverage" amount before determining that a frame has been given a proper amount of effort in the drawing.

I know what you mean and I agree, but your example of measuring ink usage reminds me of measuring a programmer's productivity by counting the number of lines of code they've written. What would be the equivalent of deleting lines, though?

Had the HR deparment said something like

We became aware that you dislike one of our clients, and that you have strong beliefs that we shouldn't do business with them. Given that, we decided that you should not work with us because you think we shouldn't do business the way we do.

what would have happened? Could this clear and direct justification still be used as basis for a lawsuit from the employee?

    >14. Use until instead of the colloquial till.

I remember reading somewhere that "till" is actually older then "until", and that they are perfectly interchangeable, although I do see "until" way more often than the other.
